Nishiki Ichiha

Located in Nishiki Market, Nishiki Ichiha offers Matcha sweets and dishes. Their signature dessert is “Nishiki Ichiha fondue” which comes in the three-story box. When you open the drawer, small size sweets will appear and you put it in the Matcha fondue on top of the box. This shop has a beautiful garden in the back of the room, so you may enjoy the delicate taste of Matcha and also the garden at the same time. It is great to note that there are many Matcha dessert menus and also Matcha noodles. As it is located in Nishiki Market, you may enjoy the atmosphere of traditional Japanese market as well.

I bet that you have never seen this kind of Matcha dessert. This is a Matcha fondue and there are small size sweets in every drawer. You need to dip them into the Matcha chocolate sauce in the beautiful bowl. Our favorite was the black soybeans with gold foil on top. When you dip them, they beautifully change their color into a bright green. It tastes very rich as the sweet black soybeans and Matcha match well.

This shop is inside Nishiki Market, and they sell matcha sweets. On the first floor they sell popcorn and soft cream for takeout. The subdued sweetness of the matcha and the fragrance are special. If you go to Nishiki Market, please also go to Nishiki Ichiha!

The matcha popcorn is sweet but a little salty at the same time, offering your tongue a Japanese-Western sweet and salty sensation like no other. I would like to watch a movie while eating their matcha popcorn.
